Yeah its safe. Your aunties nasty ass jello salad with banana's in it is giving you far more radiation exposure than those plates, because you put it inside you.

Is there something specific about bananas or is it just the go to stand in for saying that even fruit entire radiation?

The potassium taken up by banana plants during growth has radioactive isotopes which are concentrated in the fruiting bodies.
